Crowe plays Father Gabriele Amorth, the real-life, late Vatican chief exorcist, in this howler of a film.
In the vast pantheon of demonic possession films, “The Pope’s Exorcist” gives audiences something entirely new: Russell Crowe doing a ludicrous Italian accent.
And although the real Amorth worked for Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis, Franco Nero plays a bearded guy simply called “The Pope.” Pope Anonymous agonizingly writhes in the Vatican hospital as Amorth tries to exercise powerful Spanish spirits hundreds of miles away. The priest, whose beard is mysteriously much whiter than his hair, is sent to the abbey by the pope — “Charlie’s Angels” style.
So Amorth and a younger, slightly flirty priest, Father Esquibel , get to work and say prayers while more and more people growl and are flung around the room.
